Chapter 466: Persuasion

The Su family held a grand Purple Mansion banquet that lasted for three full days, and the number of cultivators who ascended Yuntai Mountain reached three thousand.

Cultivation families from the counties surrounding Yu County all sent people, and even Purple Mansion families from the neighboring Yunzhou Prefecture sent people to offer congratulations.

Naturally, the Yunyang Sect and the Taihe lineage were also present.

Three days later, most of the cultivators had already descended the mountain and left, with only a small number remaining.

Among them was the Purple Mansion cultivator from the Yunyang Sect, Yun Tianlai.

After he stayed behind to chat with the Clan Head, Su Wanjun, for a while, he looked at the Su family with a complex expression before quickly departing.

Yun Tianlai had stayed behind to speak with Su Wanjun privately, and his intention was very simple.

Even without the Clan Head saying it, Su Fan could guess it: it was nothing more than to win over the Clan Head, hoping he would join the Yunyang Sect and become an Elder of the Yunyang Sect.

In this regard, other Purple Mansion families in Zheng State were all the same—either becoming Elders of the Yunyang Sect or Guest Elders.

The Clan Head eventually agreed to Yun Tianlai, willing to become a Guest Elder of the Yunyang Sect, but he put forward a request: he wanted to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

As for the third-tier low-grade spirit vein that the Yunyang Sect originally intended to provide, the Su family gave it up.

The reason for giving it up was that the spirit vein was located in the heartland of the Yunyang Sect. If they truly accepted it, the Su family would become an affiliate of the Yunyang Sect, and it would be difficult to break away in the future.

If the Su family did not have Su Fan, a person reincarnated from a previous life, Su Wanjun would have felt that relying on the Yunyang Sect in this way was a good choice, after all, the Yunyang Sect had a good reputation.

But now the Su family had Su Fan, a person reincarnated from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator; this was a heaven-sent opportunity.

No matter how powerful the Yunyang Sect was, their strongest was merely a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and whether they could reach the peak of Golden Core in this lifetime was an unknown, let alone the Nascent Soul stage.

And the Su family might produce a great Nascent Soul stage cultivator in two or three hundred years. Since that was the case, why bother relying on the Yunyang Sect?

Su Wanjun also developed a sense of lofty ambition.

Naturally, he also brought up the news that they would attack the Liuyun Mountain Range in the future.

It was precisely because of this that the Purple Mansion Elder left Yuntai Mountain with a complex expression.

Late at night, most of the disciples had already fallen asleep.

The Su family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as the Bai family head, Bai Yuan, were invited to the back mountain.

"What?"

"Sixth Uncle, you aren't joking, are you!"

Bai Yuan looked at the Clan Head, Su Wanjun, and exclaimed in disbelief. Bai Yuan and Su Shi'an were of the same generation, one generation lower than Su Wanjun, and he had married a niece of Su Wanjun back then, so his relationship with Su Wanjun was considered close; calling him "Sixth Uncle" was not wrong.

It was precisely because of this that the Su and Bai families had always been closely linked.

"Sixth Uncle, you have only just broken through. Even if you are a third-tier array master, it is said that the Liuyun Mountain Range has two late-stage third-tier demon beasts, and other third-tier demon beasts combined probably number no fewer than eight or nine."

"You must think thrice!"

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had become a Purple Mansion cultivator and was his elder, Bai Yuan would have jumped up and pointed at his nose to curse.

What kind of joke was this? Relying on the current strength of their Su and Bai families to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range—wasn't that just delivering food to the demon clan?

He had originally guessed that Su Wanjun would have some achievements after breaking through to the Purple Mansion, but he hadn't expected the other party's ambition to be so great.

Indeed, once the Liuyun Mountain Range was taken, the benefits would be too great. Just in terms of resources, it would definitely be enough to feed the Su and Bai families, even to the point of being stuffed.

But the key was that their Su and Bai families simply didn't have this strength.

Let alone having only Su Wanjun as a Purple Mansion cultivator, even if there were two more, it wouldn't be enough.

"Sixth Uncle, it isn't the Yunyang Sect that wants to target the Liuyun Mountain Range, is it?"

Bai Yuan immediately asked, thinking of something. He felt that Su Wanjun wouldn't be so senile; he knew that this Su family head was quite shrewd, otherwise, he wouldn't have brought the Su family to this level in just a hundred and fifty years.

In reality, not only was Bai Yuan stunned, but even the Su family's Foundation Establishment cultivators and all the Elders were extremely shocked.

The matter of attacking Liuyun Mountain had only been known to Su Fan and the other two until now; others knew nothing about it.

At this moment, all the Su family Elders and Foundation Establishment cultivators were staring wide-eyed at Su Wanjun.

The former shook his head upon hearing this and said: "It is not the Yunyang Sect, but our Su family. It was also decided by Shi'an and me."

"Clan Head, think thrice!"

Everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade him upon hearing this.

They were also very confused in their hearts, wondering what had happened to their Clan Head to make him suddenly become so "arrogant."

"Haha! Do you think this old man has become senile?"

"Or do you think that because I have just broken through, I am boasting?"

Su Wanjun looked at everyone with some amusement.

"This old man indeed does not have the strength to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range, but that does not mean it cannot be attacked."

"Xiao Jiu, you should come out and tell these people."

Su Wanjun said toward the depths of the cave dwelling.

Immediately, a figure slowly walked out from behind the cave dwelling. Seeing this figure, all the Su family Elders were very surprised.

During the banquets these past few days, they hadn't seen Su Fan and had all assumed he was in seclusion cultivating in the Taihe Mountain Range.

They hadn't expected him to have been staying in the depths of this back mountain all along.

Thus, they all looked at Su Fan and Clan Head Su Wanjun with confusion, not knowing what medicine they were selling in this gourd.

As for Bai Yuan, his heart was shaken. As a marriage relative of the Su family, he naturally knew about this genius disciple of the Su family, who was said to have broken through to Foundation Establishment long ago without even using a Foundation Establishment Pill.

At this moment, he probed with his divine sense and felt the other party was unfathomable, which shocked him even more.

He had at least seventh-layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, yet he couldn't see through him at all; the feeling the other party gave him was even more unfathomable than Su Wanjun's aura.

"How is this possible?"

Bai Yuan couldn't believe it in his heart, but listening to Su Wanjun's words, it seemed this child was the one who truly proposed attacking the Liuyun Mountain Range.

"Greetings to you all."

Su Fan looked at everyone and smiled slightly.

"Xiao Jiu, what exactly is going on?"

Among those present, only the Fifth Elder was Su Fan's close elder, as Su Fan's grandfather and the Fifth Elder were biological brothers.

"Fifth Elder, please listen to me explain in detail."

"The Clan Head's proposal was indeed first suggested by me. The Liuyun Mountain Range is the foundation for the future rise of our Su and Bai families."

"Elder Bai and all the Elders, you are worried about those demon beasts in the Liuyun Mountain Range. Those demon beasts are indeed dangerous, but everyone can rest assured. Since I proposed it, I naturally have a way to deal with them."

"And there is no need for everyone; the Liuyun Mountain Range can be left to the Clan Head and me. The Clan Head and I mean that once we take down the Liuyun Mountain Range, the family will migrate there." ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
